INTRODUCTION
The HDSDI to DVI Single Link Scaler is the newest revision of our HDSDI conver-
sion line incorporating SD/HDSDI Single link mode conversion scaled to Single link
DVI-D. Resolutions of up to 1080p are supported over the DVI link for those that want
true “High De nition”. Performance has been greatly enhanced due to Gennum’s VXP
Scaler onboard; allowing for new features such as: Color & Gamma Correction, Noise

RMT-8HDS-IR INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT-8HDS-IR remote.
2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position.
3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up. The
side that is not marked must be facing down.
4. Test the RMT-8HDS-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The indica-
tor light on the remote will ash once each time you press a button. WARNING: Do not
press multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons rapidly. These actions
will cause the remote to reset and steps 1-4 will have to be repeated.
Note: The RMT-8HDS-IR ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation,
the second battery is complimentary.
The following are the dip switch combinations that correspond to the Remote Code
menu option on the HD-SDI to DVI Scaler (Please see Menu Functions section for more
